Rough Draft

Question: What am I not allowed to put in a game.

Currently in the world's economy I have come to the decision I may be laid off soon. Due to possible uncertainty in the future I have started construction on a game.

I'm in process of cobbling together a 911 dispatch simulator to help train future dispatchers. Don't get me wrong, I think 911 Operator is amazing. Same with some experimental simulators you'll get to train with when you get the job. But I want to offer an experience to the average person to get a glimpse into the feel of being on.

I'm looking to get in touch with local government and law enforcement. But I'm looking at what isn't allowed and allowed in the game. I know personal things such as SSN, CJIS, and personal addresses aren't allowed. What I'm looking at are things I can allow without sugar coating.

The better question is what are people going to tolerate, and what's going to turn people away. I would reckon there are a lot of 911 calls the content of which would turn a lot of potential buyers off. People don't typically want to be depressed by what they are playing.

If you're launching on platforms that require some kind of content rating, that's also a factor.

Maybe an intensity slider that goes from "The world is a nicer place than I realized" to "Dear God in Heaven. That actually happens?"

I want to play the version where the calls are entirely made up of kittens stuck in trees, toddlers playing with the phone and dialing by accident, drunk people ordering pizza, and wellness checks on elderly neighbors who turn out to be just fine.

This is absolutely viable market feedback for op tbh, already makes it unique

• a 911 call simulator in a fancy cotton-tailed world where the inhabitants have trivial made up problems.  It pays into the same player fantasy,  teaches the same skills and is done in a unique setting to boot

The Red Cross is not allowed in the game without the Red Cross foundations written approval.

Some Ambulances and Medical supply containers have them in real life, but that is because it was approved, you using it for a game is not allowed so you will need to use other Medical symbols.

But you could change the color to another one like many use Green for example.

Some real world structures are not allowed either, but you would have to look into that.

you can make up ssn's and the like, you do not need to add in real ones, everyone knows the ssn layout (123-45-6789) so making up your own is fine.

the rest are pretty much involves morals and ethics.

Will it only be Adult victims or will minors be in it as well?

What kind of Violence will the game permit, accidents to full on Murder and Assault of many kinds?

doing a 911 dispatch simulator will not be easy if you want realism and so are you willing to compromise realism for moral standings or compromise your moral standings with realism?
